Bab 87: Warlocks (2)

Henry's surprise lasted two seconds at most and he pointed his gun to take advantage of the destroyed shield and land a shot to kill his target. 

Alas, before he could, the second Warlock who had shielded his fellow from Angus formed a few complex seals and released a turbulent flow of Mana that seemed to pull all air around closer before discharging it in a forceful curtain that tossed Henry, Angus, and their horses many feet away. 

"Hmph!" Henry let out as he was tossed off Nyx's back and hit the ground with a thud while Nyx struck the side of her head against the ground even further away and let out a pained *neigh* along with a groan that only Henry heard through their telepathy. 

As he rose off the ground, the hairs on Henry's body rose and he knew to roll away from where he was which he managed to do just before a powerful tendril attack hit that spot with such force, that it cracked the cobbled stoned ground.
